Y&R Spoilers Ahead– Nick Pleads His Case

On the August 27 episode of The Young and the Restless, Nick Newman (Joshua Morrow), his lawyer Brittany Hodges (Lauren Woodland), and his character witness Summer Newman (Hunter King) appeared before Judge Sanders for the custody hearing. Nick still has to convince the judge to allow him to get his son, Christian Newman (Alex Wilson) back even though Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) has decided to drop his case.

Elsewhere, Chelsea Newman (Melissa Claire Egan) saw Adam staring at the picture of his son at a coffee house. She tried to convince him to attend the hearing, but he still refused and said he’s done enough. Back in the court, Judge Sanders insisted that all parties should be present at the courthouse, or he would reschedule the hearing.

Summer eventually received a call from Chelsea who informed her that Adam won’t come. The judge made good on his promise and canceled the hearing. Irritated at the judge’s reaction, Summer started an argument with him. Sanders gave her a contempt warning, which forced Nick to send her out.

Although the custody hearing has been canceled, Nick asked the judge to hear him out. He told the judge what a nightmare it has been. He added that it’s unfair to take away Christian from him because of a technicality. Sanders didn’t like Nick’s attitude and the latter tried an emotional plea, instead. Before the episode ended, viewers saw Nick telling Christian that he’s coming home with him for good.
